It’s worth pointing out that it’s not just that he was convicted with STRmix, he was considered innocent by traditional DNA methods (not exonerated, but he would have been innocent). It seems like overturning that for a statistical probability method should be a high bar to pass, with 100% transparency.

LucasFilmGames? Isn’t that a little bit like StreetFighter The Movie The Game?

After experiences with the Xbox 360 and other consoles overheating, I’m all for giving as much available space for air cooling as possible. This is especially true in a first-generation console.

If everything else made sense in the console naming, that would sort of make sense for the S and X distinction. I’ll give you that.  But “One” versus “Series?” “Series S” makes it sound like the S’s go together. But All “Series” actually go together, while all S’s are separate generations from each other.

The naming…

I’m glad they’ve finally managed to recapture what made the 2D Sonics great. But retro will only get them so far into the future. I’d love to see a remake / reinvention of Sonic Adventure 1, as a doorway to more 3D based Sonic games that aren’t terrible. Quite frankly, knowing that Sega remembers how to make a good 3d …

I’d take a wild guess that labor in Tokyo is relatively expensive, and they’re going to outsource that to China or another area with lower labor costs.  If the robots are $10,000 each, and reduce labor costs by $10 an hour, they will pay for themselves in about 6 months.

How well does it support real gamepads?  (Xbox, PS4, MFi)?

I would happily give Red Dead Redemption 2 a go on my underpowered laptop via Stadia if it was as simple as “buy game get 1080p.” But targeting a service at people who haven’t shelled out for a high-end gaming device, then charging them three times for it, seems... well... like it was going to crash and burn in…

Honestly, I’d like to play Red Dead Redemption 2, but can’t bring myself to spend yet another $400 to upgrade my gaming PC again. The nice thing is I could buy the game on Stadia for regular price and still get to play it. Yes, it will be on 1080p maximum, and the latency is the big open question. But I wouldn’t have…

I recently picked up an Oculus Quest out of professional curiousity. I wasn’t expecting it to be as truly... different as it is, but it is.  It really feels like a NES.  It’s a nanocent technology that is just barely good enough to be good enough.  And while it has real and obvious shortcomings, what it offers really…

Just adding data to this: Nintendo of Japan says Splatoon 2 has sold 8.7 million units. That’s close behind Pokemon Go (10.6 million together), Zelda (12.8 million), Smash (13.8 million), Mario Odyssey (14.4 million), and Mario Kart (16.7 million).  For a not-really established property, that’s huge.

“While our financial results for 2018 were the best in our history, we didn’t realize our full potential.” Translation: We made a lot of money, but we would have made more money if we didn’t have workers. I must admit, it keeps getting harder and harder to stay in this industry.

If having my credit card on file isn’t proof of age enough, my Steam account itself is old enough to buy adult games.

It looks like the level designers cleared out a little bit of the mid-map distractions so that the player could focus on combat. It looks like a similar thing happened to the backgrounds as well, where the unimportant elements became a bit more blown out to reduce visual interest and to focus the player more on the…

I don’t think I’ve seen Nintendo mention of any 3rd party online multiplayer games, like Fortnight or Street Fighter. Is it really $35 a year just for Splatoon, Mario Kart, and Brawl?  That feels like it’s kneecapping the release potential of Nintendo first party games.

I *really* hope they mean that the director is intending to make an original story set sometime after the origins of the character, not that they’re making a different origin for Venom for the movies.  Those things tend not to go well.

$35 a month is a bit over $400 a year.  A lot of people can build a competent gaming desktop for $400, let alone $400 each year.  For people who upgrade their systems constantly, but don’t actually want to be doing that level of tinkering, it might be worth it.  But I have a hard time seeing the high-end gamers…

That is Morteza Khajehjahromi, a relatively young but professional stunt rider. http://stuntermegaman.com/bio/

Here he is two years ago doing a stand-on motorcycle stunt at a show in Arizona. One of his shticks seems to be dancing on top of bikes. https://www.lawtigers.com/law-tigers-celebrate-15-years-in-style-with-the…

My guess is there is a difference between Dev, QA, and Release servers that bungled their automated tools. I don’t have any special knowledge about their environment, but they probably have QA on one server in one farm with virtualization creating the illusion of more locations, and Release on thousands of servers in…
